DAHO'S BRAVE GIRLS.

Another Chapter In the History OF
the Heroine of Little Lost River.
San Francisco Examiner.
A year ago wonderful story of the
gallant fight of Theresa Tallert with
mountain lions while defending her
flock of Angora goats on the Little st
river, was circulated far and wide in
American and even French papers. The
story set forth how, late one evening in
her cabin IN the foothills of Eastern
Idaho, she was awakened by animals
racing around in the Stockade adjoining :;
how she arose, and, with hand-aX and
her dog Badger, she stole out in the
moonlight to find the lions in pursuit of
her goats; how, nothing daunted. she
attacked them and cut one to the bone
with her ak, injured others, and caused
the whole. some six in all, to flee over
the stockade wall. But the next morn
ing the brave girl discovered that the
Threats of many of the herd had been cut
for fifty of them lay dead on the ground
'Well, our girls been making another
record" said A. J. Bruner, of Houston.
Idaho, to an Examiner man yesterday,
land she got in her work in fine style,
the usual way with her. She never lets

whats she been doing now?"
Had another fight with mountain
lions. You see, q year ago, after Their
esa's fight with them, o. B. HawleX3and
other raisers of Angora goats, those who
had suffered losses, put theirheadS to
gether and organized a posse 10 kill
them off. They killed great many and
pretty well cleaned them out, it was
thought. For some months thereafter
there were very few of them seen
around, and these were very wary.
Lately, however, the lions have come
to the front. The foothills have seemed
to be Swarming with them. They again
invaded the stockades and sucked
the blood of the goats whose Threats
they cut. Miss Tallert, who had lost
some more of her flock, and knew that
the lions came around there quite often
at night, got couple of Winchesters
and loaded them with buckShot few
nights ago. Then she dug out the chink-
ing between the logs on the side of her
cabin next to the StOckade, and from
this portfolio she took up her station.
Well. in five nights in this way she
killeH thirteen mountain lions, and she
says she is not through with them yet.
Her herd of goats comprises some 500 in
all, and perhaps thirty OF fifty of these
have been killed in the last month or
two"
Miss Tallert is German girl who has
been ranching OH the Little Lost river
for three or four years The country
round there is good for Angora goats,
and she got her start by working first
for wages for A. j. Bruner, who is the
biggest grower in that region.

in knitted undershirt than in batch
of buckwheat cakes or the soul of a
ward politician. The most uncOmforta-
BILE rig ever had on was a hand-knitted
silk under-petticOat and a knitted pair
OF silk stockings. The one crawled up
and the other crawled down till the
condition of things became unbearable.
Speaking of knitted stockings, if ladies
want an expeditions and easy recipe for
them, here it is: Cast on ninety stitches,
thirty on a needle, with the nice bale
knitting silk sold everywhere, knit
round and round till you have pipe
about two feet long. To call this stock
ing would provoke a laugh, but when
this little slender pipe has grown as long
as the leg of an ordinary stocking lust
drop every fourth stitch as you knit
around once and see the instantaneous
effect. The dropped stitch runsprompt-
~ to the top; it leaves little ladder
behind it, and then you have a ribbed
and open work stocking big enough for
a piano leg. Then foot it off. This
makes very durable stocking, particu-
larly nice for little girls who wear the
suspension garterS. Like all hand
knitted silk things it creeps and crawls
and defies the combining power of an
ordinary everyday elastic.

She Took Her Place.

A young lady belonging to one of the
oldest and richest families in Cam
bridge, Mass, who teaches class COM
posed mostly of shop girls in one of our
city Sabbath schools, last Sunday, no
ticing that one of her scholars looked
unusually worn and tired, proposed to
her that she take a vacation of a day,
Offering herself to supply her
place at the store. The girl was
naturally little reluctant at first to ac-
cept such sacrifice, bat was prevailed
upon, and promptly at o'clock the lady
reported at the store for duty, and re-
manned until its closing, at 6. That the
position was in fact a hard and eXacting
one, will appear when it is known that
the store was confectionery and ice
cream saloon, and among the duties of
the candy clerk was the washing each
day Of from lbs to $50 napkins.

enced Him to Violate the Law.
d. G. Beach, the Trumbull moon
sinner, whose crooked transactions in
the manufacture of applejack were dis
covered through information furnished
by his clipping wife, has. been bound
over under heavy bonds to appear for
trial in the United States circuit court
in Hartford, Conn. Beach says that his
wife is really the guilty one, and that
she put him up to the mOOnShining
business, and it is more than likely that
Mrs. Beach will be arrested, too. Beach
was widOwer when he married the
woman and had three children.
When Mrs. Beach, the second,
took charge of Beach's establish
ment she rid herself of the
children in less than a year. The
eldest, boy, she forced to run away
from home, and soon afterwsrd she in
Structed the second child to steal hired
mans watch, telling him how to do it
and where to hide it. Mrs. Beach then
informed on the lad, and as a result he
school. The youngest child, Beach
says, was killed by neglect. Beach SAYS
that his wife also advised him to go into
the mOOnShining business, and when he
built his new house few years ago she
planned the sub-cellarS and secret pass
ages which he has used to store his lille
gally made brandy. Beach states that
his wife had more to do with the making
of the SurreptitiOuS applejack than he
did, and as Collector TrOup believes his
story, Mrs. Beach may find that she will
have to share the fate she has brought
upon her husband.

postoffice official for stating that during
the recent nihilist scare no less than IS
per cent. of the whole of the letters
passing through the Russian post were
opened. The calculation does not in
clude the correspondence of large
class of suspects whose letters are al
ways opened as matter of course. My
informant explained to me that the staff
employed for this purpose does not reg
ularly belong to the postoffice, and
there is very Slight control over it, more
especially in the provincial centers. The
danger to private correspondence. it
seems, is not SO much in opening and
perusing the ordinary letters, but the
officials do not act up to their instruc-
tons in releasing and fastening them.
They have, on the contrary, an ugly
habit of bundling innocent letters into
the fire rather than take the trouble of
making them up again.

The Result of Neglecting a Slight
Cold.

When catarrh has existed in the head,
and upper part of the throat for any
length of time-the patient living in %
district where people are subject to ca
tarrhal affection-and the disease hasl
been uncured, the catarrh invariably,
sometimes slowly, extends down the
windpipe and into the bronchial tubes,
which tubes convey the air into the Diff.
ferent parts of the lungs. The tubesl
become affected from the swelling and;
mucus arising from catarrh, and in
some instances become plugged up so
that the air cannot get in as freely as it
should. Shortness of breath follows,
and the patient breathes with labor and
difficulty.
In other cases there is a sound of
cracking and wheeling inside the chest.
AT this stage of the disease the breath
in g is usually more rapid than when in
health. The patient also has hot flashes
over his body.

NEW YORK, June 17.-So many noted

nothing very impressive about the ell
